AUGUSTA, Nov. 6-Saturday evening,
some time before the arrival of the Pullman
train from the east, the passenger station at
Vassalboro was entered through window,
and about So ID money and three tickets to
Lawrence, Mass, stolen. The station agent,
Mr.. G. III. Graves, on coming down to the
train, discovered the theft and notified Con-
ductor McInJire, who, on arriving at Bruns-
wick, notified Conductor Judkins of the
Pullman going east AS the latter's train
was returning tonight, three boys boarded it
at Waterville, each holding ticket from
Vassalboro to Lawrence, Mass. The con-
ductor had his suspicious, and on arriving at
Vassalboro he saw Mr.. Graves and showed
him the tickets, which he identified as the
same which were abstracted. from the office.
Accordingly, when the train arrived in this
city the fellows were delivered over to the
police. They said their home was in Boston,
and gave their names as George Monroe,
Winfred Hyatt, and Arthur bennett. Two
of the boys had two revolvers each, and the
third boy carried one. They also had a
handbag in their possession, in which were
ten reyolvers, six dozen jackknives in boxes,
five silver spoons and plush plaque. 1t is

say they came to Maine for a good time.

PULPIT AND PLATFORM.
NEW JERUSALEM CHURCH.

NEW JEhOSALEM CAOtfCHs
Rev. VIM. B. Hayden preached yesterday
morning, from Acts X, "a, 35 and Rom. III,
Il, 10, sermon on the current discussion
concerning the state of the heathen in the
eternal world, future probation. final judg-
ment, etc.
The doctrine Of the Bible, said the preacher,
is that good men, wherever found, among al
nations, are saved; while evil men every
where equally fail of this salvation. The
Divine mercy is over all alike. and Provi-
dence watches over their whole career The
heathen religions are under His care, and
adapted to their state. Each one has some
thing in 1t to act as "a schoolmaster to bring
them to Christ" They all teach there is a
God, that He is to be obeyed and worshiped.
and that the evil things forbidden in the sec
ond table Of theDecologue are not to be done.
These truths are sufficient to form con-
science and instruct men in their first duties,
thus securing freedom of moral choice, Civ
ing them probation. Responsibility is ac-
cording to light; and the man who honestly
lives according to the precepts Of his religion,
accounting them Divine, thereby acknovl-
edges God, and performs acts Of repentance.
All such are accepted in the other life. and
instructed in the holy truths of the Christian
religion out of the Word.
Can men, then, ''be saved without having
heard of the historic Christi" They can be
savedsfrom many things; from perdition,
and gross immoraities and imbued with de-
votion. Salvation is thing of degrees. Aud
in bades, the intermediate state of souls, be-
fore their final elevation into heaven, they
are instructed about our Lord Jesus Christ
and His divine work of redemption.
Does this imply the doctrine Of future
probation? Not in strict sense. There is
no change of direction or character after dis
missal from the mortal body. A good man
does not become bad, neither does an evil
man become good, in the intermediate state.
The habit of life is fixed while in this world
All judgment is according to the deeds done
in the body" while the declared law is, ''he
that is unjust let him be unjust STILL and he
that is righteous let him be righteous STILL"
No one there wills to change ibis permanent
character
That great intermediate world, into which
all souls go, and where such momentous
events are transacted, must regain the posi-
tion it held in the primitive church, and fill
q larger place in our theology
